It looks like your inbox is rather big. Might be due to lack of compressing, you ought to realize that in order to compress a folder you as much free space as the folder uses before compression. First we need to get you up and running, try this: Create a new folder in TB Close TB Move the messages.tbb and messages.tbi files from your inbox to the ne created folder. Start TB Since there's no messagebase in the inbox, TB will create a new messages.tbb and .tbi Configure TB to compress the inbox on exit. Before we start to salvage the messages from the original inbox, how big is it? When did you do your last purge and compress, when your last scandisk or defrag? How many free space have you got on your harddisk and how many bat*.tmp and other files in your temporary files directory? -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
